What are some creative ways to wrap birthday presents?

Answer 1

If the recipient is not too impatient, it can be entertaining to prolong the suspense by wrapping the present in several nested boxes (this also disguises the shape and size of the present) or by hiding it somewhere and wrapping the first of a series of clue to a treasure hunt (this also disguises the appearance of the present completely). Wrapping presents in color comics or other pages from the newspaper is another fun classic, as long as the gift is not something that would be damaged by newsprint rubbing off on it. Lastly, a way to jazz up a gift wrapped in regular paper is to use a small accessory (e.g. a barrette for a woman's clothing gift or a rattle for a baby gift) in place of a bow on the package.
